Only in homo sapiens is the VDR responsible for expression of the Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, the primary defense of the intra-phagocytic innate immune system. | Only in homo sapiens is the VDR responsible for expression of the Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, the primary defense of the intra-phagocytic innate immune system. | ||

In mice, there are other receptors, and other genes that do that. Even the higher primates do not emulate the cathelicidin innate immunity of Homo sapiens. | In mice, there are other receptors, and other genes that do that.

Further, we note that characteristic modes of instability lie in the microwave frequency range, which is currently populated by cellphone and WiFi communication signals, and that the susceptibility is ligand dependent. | Further, we note that characteristic modes of instability lie in the microwave frequency range, which is currently populated by cellphone and WiFi communication signals, and that the susceptibility is ligand dependent. | ||
